Sean O’Malley has spoken out for the first time since suffering defeat at UFC 252 against Marlon “Chito” Vera. Speaking on the Timbo Sugar Show podcast, O’Malley detailed the events that occurred on fight night.

The bout ended in a Vera securing a first-round TKO over O’Malley, however, many believed this came due to an injury that O’Malley had sustained in the fight.

Regarding the result O’Malley expressed that while he is disappointed to have lost it did not matter the circumstance, Chito won.

“He won, it sucks for me because I’m like, god I lost to someone who I look at as not very good. I look at him and I feel like, he’s not that good and I fu***ng lost to him.”

The formerly undefeated fighter expressed that the camp leading up to the event was perfect and everything seemed to be going well on the night.

“Even in the back warming up, everything was perfect.” Said O’Malley. “I’m in good shape, I’m in Fu****g good shape, I’m breaking this fu***r 100 percent in my mind. Get back there doing out warmup everything is going perfect, about five minutes before they said alright you’ve got to walk I’m like hey Brandon do you reckon you can loosen up my ankle brace? It’s like Fu***ng tight, walked out, everything felt good. Got in there, was in front of him I’m like, in my mind I’m like this is easy. He’s slow, he can’t hit me.”

O’Malley continues explaining the pain he could feel in his leg felt the exact same as the pain from his previous foot injury. “I remember the pain that I had in the top of my foot, the lisfranc surgery. I had the same pain but all around my ankle and I remember dragging my foot up against the cage and even still didn’t feel in danger.”

Since the event, many viewers and analysts have broken down the fight determining that the injury came from a kick thrown by Vera, throwing away any doubt that the win was not genuine.

Sean O’Malley: Marlon Vera Got ‘Lucky,’ Isn’t That Good

Sean O’Malley suffered the first defeat of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career over the weekend. O’Malley took part in the co-headliner for the UFC 252 pay-per-view (PPV) event, facing Marlon Vera at 135 pounds. “Sugar” was a he…

Marlon Vera Believes Sean O’Malley Quit, Mentions Who He Wants Next

Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera became the first man to defeat the ultra talented, formerly undefeated ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley this past weekend at UFC 252, and he did so in a very impressive, violent fashion. Going into the fight, O’Malley had all the hype in the world around him, and for a reason. He looked great early […]

Going into the fight, O’Malley had all the hype in the world around him, and for a reason. He looked great early on against Vera, until his leg gave out and he couldn’t stay mobile.

This left many fans thinking it was somewhat of a freak accident, but it appears that it may have been a kick from Vera that made O’Malley’s leg give out after closer examining the fight.

‘Chito’ had the following to say about his fight with O’Malley and who he wants next to BJPenn.com:

“Now that the fight is over, he didn’t hurt his ankle. The x-rays came back clean. What I did to him, is basically when someone punches you in the jaw you go out. His legs went out. I don’t give a fuck what people think or say. There will always be haters. He went out. But, man if they don’t stop it I would’ve beat him worse in the second. Everyone has an opinion. It was a solid win and I am happy, I wouldn’t change anything.

“I am going to be honest, he quit. But, at the end of the day, I know my kicks are powerful and it fucked up his leg. His nerve went away when I kicked him.”

Though he defeated O’Malley via TKO in round one, many people have been calling for a rematch, but Vera has different thoughts for his next fight.

“Fuck no, fuck him. He has to go fight and prove himself. Let’s be real, he was fighting low-level competition. I want Jimmie Rivera next and that is what will happen next. There is nowhere he can run now or any excuses he can make.

“Right now, he has his back against his wall and can’t be picking his opponents. We have been scheduled to fight a couple of times, that is the fight to make. I would finish him. I will put the pace and pressure on him and I believe I finish him.”

‘Chito’ improved his professional mixed martial arts record to 16-6-1 with his win over O’Malley, and he’s now won six straight at 135 lbs. He’s 6-1 in his last seven, though the featherweight bout he had with Song Yadong back in May, literally everyone believes he won.

Nonetheless, that loss marks the sixth decision loss of his career, he’s never been finished, and he’s finished his last six wins. He’s actually finished all but one victory he’s had in the UFC. Jimmie Rivera is also a great match up for his next fight, he just returned for this first time in 13 months last month and picked up a unanimous decision victory over Cody Stamann.

Ben Askren Gives Harsh Assessment Of Sean O’Malley’s UFC 252 Loss

Ben Askren was not a fan of Sean O’Malley’s UFC 252 performance against Marlon Vera. In the co-main event of the card, O’Malley was set for the toughest test of his career. It was a very intriguing matchup but many favored O’Malley to get the job done. Yet, that was not the case as Vera […]

Ben Askren was not a fan of Sean O’Malley’s UFC 252 performance against Marlon Vera.

In the co-main event of the card, O’Malley was set for the toughest test of his career. It was a very intriguing matchup but many favored O’Malley to get the job done. Yet, that was not the case as Vera won by first-round TKO, partly due to the fact “Sugar” injured his ankle.

“He wanted to just be out of there for whatever reason,” Askren said of O’Malley on Monday on ESPN’s DC & Helwani show (via South China Morning Post). “It’s a fist fight. Deal with it. I’m saying he shouldn’t have done that. Yes, [O’Malley] was in pain obviously. Listen, if you don’t have the expectation that you’re gonna be in pain when you get into a fist fight, you’ve got some bad expectations.”

Due to the foot injury, Sean O’Malley left the Octagon and the arena on a stretcher. That move got a lot of flack on social media by fighters and fans. For Askren, he says if someone tried to put him on a stretcher he would’ve fought someone.

Even though it is O’Malley’s first career loss, Ben Askren believes the rising star needs to grow up.

“If they tried carting me out because of an ankle injury, I would’ve fought someone over that,” Askren said of O’Malley. “You’re not putting my ass on a stretcher because I got an ankle injury. I got one other good leg, and I’m gonna hop all the way to the back. Leave me the F alone. I think he needs to grow up.

“It’s part of growing up. In life, you have failures, you have struggle,” Askren added. “You’re gonna learn from them. Obviously, he hasn’t lost a fight to this point, so he probably hasn’t experienced those really hard things and really, at this point, embarrassment also. He was building himself up and got his ass kicked by ‘Chito’ Vera. He’s probably a little embarrassed by that, as well. Hey, that’s part of it. Get up, rub some dirt on it, hop yourself to the back.”
